Hi Paul,

Looking at this, you aren't running the most recent version of forecast.

If I were having a problem of this sort, I'd update R (if you can),
run update.packages() and then try again with a minimal set of
packages. As one of the other responses suggested, you probably have
mismatched versions of packages with dependencies.
